Which statement among the following is incorrect?
- Unit of rate of disappearance is
- Unit of rate of reaction is
- Unit of rate constant k depends upon order of reaction
- Unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is
Solution
Rate of disappearance of reaction of reactants is equal to the .
Concentration has the unit . Time has the unit of second.
Hence, unit of rate of disappearance is .
Rate of reaction is equal to the concentration per unit time. So, the unit of rate of reaction is .
The unit of rate constant k depends upon order of reaction. Each order of reaction has the different unit of rate constant.
The unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is .
Hence, the incorrect statement is the unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is .
